​West Trade Street/Hawthorne Lane Road Closures

Hawthorne Segment

Hawthorne Lane Bridge Closure

July 24, 2017 to Early 2020

**UPDATE: Bridge construction is currently paused. The bridge is currently out. Work is expected to resume in late September/October 2019 with the opening of the bridge in April 2020. For additional information on this component of the project, please call CATS Customer Service at 704-336-RIDE(7433).

Hawthorne Lane, between Bay Street and Hawthorne Bridge Court, will remain closed until all bridge work is complete. Currently, work is set to resume in fall 2019.

Motorists should utilize East 7th Street and Central Avenue as the detour. This road will be closed to all through traffic.

Weather and unforeseen circumstances occasionally prevent work from being completed as scheduled, and make it unsafe to reopen lanes or streets when planned. When this occurs, City traffic engineers work directly with other City staff and contractors to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and reduce impacts to the traveling public.

Pedestrians walking near work zone areas should be alert, cautious and allow extra traveling time. It is advised they cross at signalized intersections, use pedestrian walk signals where available and abide by detour signage.

Motorists traveling through work zone areas should be alert and extra cautious. Drivers should get in the correct lane well in advance and constantly be on the lookout for vehicles merging into adjacent travel lanes as they approach a work zone. Drivers should double their following distance.
